Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales in Middle English. She has also been compelled to cross-reference
the Bible in the original Hebrew and ancient Greek.

Acharya S is the author of the controversial books The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold (1999), hailed by Feral
House publisher Adam Parfrey as "the most important book of our time." The Christ Conspiracy has
been translated into Spanish and Korean, with Italian and Bulgarian editions in the works. Acharya's magnum opus
Suns of God: Krishna, Buddha and Christ (2004) was called "a magnificent work" by
famed mythologist Barbara Walker. Her first title by Stellar House Publishing was Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of The Christ (2007), published under her real name D.M.
